General Notes: Husband - Isaac Hill Shepler

---

He was reared at home and acquired his education in the common schools and Ames Commercial School in Syracuse, New York, graduating from the latter institution, June 4, 1866. After his marriage he rented and farmed the adjoining farm to the homestead in connection with working with his father on the home farm, and four years later he removed to the farm owned by his brother-in-law in Webster, consisting of two hundred and seventy acres, which he conducted for four years, also assisting in the management of the home farm. During the last year of this period he received a severe sunstroke, which incapacitated him for work for one year, during which time he resided near Fell's Church, in Rostraver township. He then went west and for two years was employed on the upper Missouri on the Coulson mercantile boats which had extensive government contracts through North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Montana. In 1881 he returned to Westmoreland County, locating on the Caldwell property in Rostraver township, where he farmed for two years. He then purchased one-quarter interest in the Belle Vernon Saw and Planing Mill Company, and for four years served in the capacity of bookkeeper, contractor and buyer. At the expiration of this time Grover Cleveland was elected to the presidency, and Mr. Shepler was offered and accepted a position as gauger, serving four years and one month. For a period of eight months under Andrew Johnson's administration he served as storekeeper. In 1890 he purchased the mercantile business of P. Rider & Company in Belle Vernon, and five years later, upon the expiration of his lease, built a business building on his home property on the hill where he then engaged in mercantile pursuits. During his residence in Belle Vernon he served on the school board, as borough assessor, and was president of the board of health, and previous to that time he served as school director, township assessor and a member of the election board. He was first a Methodist in religion, but later became a member of the Presbyterian church, and for forty years was a member of the choir. Beginning in 1862 he was actively identified with Gummert Lodge, No. 252, Free and Accepted Masons, at Fayette City, Pennsylvania; he was a master Mason.
